Long time subscriber. Love the magazine but this is the most annoying interface of any of the digital magazines I subscribe to. Can't download or manage subscription, unable to thumb through issues easily, persistent ads popping up in valuable screen real estate at top of page, and slow and clunky reading experience. Almost given up on reading this mag at all. Really, really terrible app! Show more

Contents are terrific, but that's as far as I'll go on its good points. Why would they take up valuable real estate with an add for their subscriptions? I'm already a subscriber and their banner takes up almost 20% and never goes away! One would think that the table of contents would be easy to get to. They have chosen to keep if off of their topics list which means I need to select another topic and page through the magazine until I've reached it. I'm starting to believe that this, and other omissions are strategic where advertisers gain an advantage on frequently seen pages. To the editors: this publication is for us musicians. You already make your profits on ads. There is no need to punish readers with a poorly written app. Show more

Doesn't retain downloaded issues. Makes it unusable offline. Also unstable; issues frequently will not display correctly. Even if working correctly, format is difficult to use, unintuitive and clunky. Please end this failed experiment and return to a basic magazine platform. Show more

Won't open issues I've purchased. Worked initially but not last couple of months. Deleted it.

Great magazine! Great articles! Crappy app! As above, keeps crashing, downloaded issues disappear, and so on.... My British mags work just fine - fire the dudes who put this mess on and get it fixed! Show more

Half the time it just doesn't work so I had to delete it.

I'm not sure what bug this update "fixed" but it wasn't the one that crashes the app when you try to download the latest issue. Every update gets worse. How hard can this be? Show more

Thanks for removing my subscription and no restore missing issues button. Lame. Are you going to be providing a refund?

The app used to work great when it first came out. Then you changed the format and things started going down hill. With the last update all of my electronic copies are gone. I can download some of the older issues, but now it wants me to pay again for the issues that I've already bought with my subsciption. Please just go back to the original app. Show more

I know that PG switched to a different platform for delivering their magazines, but this platform is less functional and not at all stable. Crashes 100% of the time trying to download the current issue. Back issues its crashes from time to time while downloading... So much for buying an electronic only subscription to cut down on the tree usage and not being able to download it... Argh... Great magazine, terrible electronic delivery platform. You would think that after running an e-magazine for three or four plus years they would have this well established.... :-( :-( Show more

New update and everything is gone with apparently no way to restore. Why does this happen with an established app and magazine?

All the delightful interactive features from the previous app version are now gone. New version is no better than using a PDF reader to view the free issues on the PG website. Show more

I have a print and digital subscription, so with the update i can now only buy the latest issue. There is no way to access my subscription or to restore previous purchases. Please fix it and test before submitting it to the Apple app store Show more

Love the magazine. Had October before update. Now it's asking me to buy it. Something important was left out of the update--current subscribers. Please fix. UPDATE: the current solution seems to be to make the current issue free. So I downloaded November. Twenty minutes later, it still takes time to load each page. This new app is plain terrible. The prior app was great. Please go back. Don't try to fix the new app. Trash it. It's too painful to use. There is no reason to subscribe to this app. The free web version is far superior. I guess that I will never be able to access my saved bookmarks from prior versions. I'm also incredibly disappointed that I did not receive a specific response to my direct e-mail to PG. PG: you have mishandled every aspect of this attempted update. I can't understand how this went so wrong when the magazine is otherwise so top-notch. Show more

Just opened the new Premier Guitar app and it was the worst magazine experience I've ever had. First, it forgot my purchase history -- all that I paid for was gone. Next, the "reader" is like something from the AOL days. It wasn't full page, it was slow, it kept taking me online when I didn't touch a link, it shut down twice, the page numbers in the browser didn't match the pub. Embarrassingly bad. It's enough to make me stop reading the mag. Too cumbersome. Show more

yet another upgrade broke my subscription

Latest fix still not downloading newest issues. App shuts down and never ever has completed a download. Past issues still missing. Slow, sluggish movement within app. Please fix. Go back to previous incarnations of app. Those worked. Show more

The new update still didn't fix the missing subscription link. There is no way to restore your existing subscription.

The same as other people are posting can't get October unless I buy. My sub shows I am active until September 2017. What gives PG?

There are no controls over navigation. I opened a magazine and i cant go back, bookmark or anything.
